way, turn the engine compression
brake switch ON for added braking
effect.
NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with the Ea-
ton Vorad® system, operation of the
compression brake may be automati-
cally activated.
Compression Brake Controls
There are two switches on the dash panel
that control the engine compression brake.
A master switch turns the system ON or
OFF. A second switch, located next to the
master switch, controls the braking effect.
This switch allows you to choose
progressively stronger braking to slow the
vehicle down.
Engine compression brake controls
include:
•
ON/OFF switch
•
Three-position selector switch
•
Clutch switch
•
Throttle sensor
•
Service brake pressure switch
•

brake will not deactivate. Failure to
comply may result in equipment or
property damage.
Engine Compression Brake Level
Switch Operation
There are two switches that control your
vehicle’s engine compression brake. One
switch turns the system ON/OFF and the
second switch controls the braking level.
These switches are located on the dash
switch panel.
For the three-position engine compression
brake level switch, there will be 100
percent engine braking when the switch is
in the up (HIGH) position. In the middle
(MEDIUM) position, there will be 66
percent engine braking. In the down (LOW)
position there will be 33 percent engine
braking.
With the compression brake switch ON, the
compression brake will be engaged when
the service brake is applied. If the cruise
